July '08 NEWLYWEDS chat!

i am leaving any minute to go meet jose to fill out our marriage application and pick up our paperwork for our officiant to sign - i am so nervous i could puke and all we're doing is picking up paperwork!!!!!

 

if i am freaking this much today, how bad will i be freaking on the wedding day?!

^^^^^

i know the feeling!! good luck!!

Aw. You will be fine! Have lots of fun!

When J and I went, we were so nervous. I was shaking, my hands, I'm pretty sure, filling out the information. and it took about 5 seconds. I was like, Wow, that is all it takes to get married, huh? The lady was laughing at me. LOL. I said, It takes longer to change your address at the DMV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

omg ok i just got back. my hands were shaking and i was totally clammy the whole time. the lady who was helping us fill it out (you have to verbally say everything and they fill it out on the computer and then you print & sign your names) was so rude. jose did 2 things wrong (signed his name where you are supposed to print, and for the two spaces for phone numbers he put HIS two phone numbers but one was supposed to be his and one was supposed to be mine) and the lady was pretty mean about it. i was like jeez lady its not like we've done this before!!!!!!!!!!

What a rude brat! That was suspose to be an exciting time for you two and she ruined it by being a turd! I really hate people like that!

 

Well I am sorry but see.. worried for no reason!

Okay, Abbie....I tried the deoderant trick today. It is mega hot here and I think it worked! Of course I only ran errands for about 2 hours, but I still think it worked pretty well.

I am definitely taking this trick with me to Mexico!

Sorry to hear that, Maura. That woman was probably just jealous. Jealous cause you found a good man to marry! WOO HOO!

Congrats on the marriage license!

hahahaha thanks erica, you just made me laugh out loud

Thank you Abbie! I would rather take them out now then do it at the airport and get hung up!
